poopster 0 Posted June 26, 2003 I'm Hoping someone will have an idea? ;( ;( ;( ;( My pc keeps on crashing/hanging, its doing this quite alot, The Os is Winxp Pro sp1 with Dx9 and seeing that I think its a hardware problem I thought it would be better to post in here. My hardware is as follows Iwill KA266/r AMD Duron 1.2 DDR 768 MB ram G Force2 64mg 400x400 mx Asus ISDn card Maxtor 80gig ATA133 7200rpm plus a standard 10/100 network card When the pc hangs and you reboot it will will go through are the motions until you get to just after the windows xp boot screen then it seems to hang sometimes the activity light on the front for the hd is on and others its off. But if you leave the machine for about 20mins and come back it will boot. Its been doing this for the past month and has been driving me mad!!!! I have even formatted the drive and reinstalled... Has anyone got any Ideas I would be very greatfull!!! Share this post Link to post

sapiens74 0 Posted June 26, 2003 Hey bro, make sure you have the latest bios and drivers. Secondly like the previous post says remove everything but 1 stick of ram. If that fails remove and disable all devices except Video, and hard drive. And add devices till you find which is cause the problem Share this post Link to post
mezron 0 Posted June 26, 2003 I'd check the integrity of that hard drive. http://www.maxtor.com/en/support/downloads/powermax.htm Jim Share this post Link to post
AndyFair 0 Posted June 26, 2003 OK, before we all start looking at random things to replace, you need to see what is causing the reboot - you need to turn off the automatic reboot option. (Control Panel->System->Advanced->Startup & Recover->uncheck "Automatically Reboot") - and see what the BSOD is saying... Can you look in the Event Viewer and see whether there are any errors in the system or application logs that might pertain to the crashes. Rgds AndyF Share this post Link to post
